The Multi Panel MP 270B, Touch Panel TP 270 and Operator Panel OP 270 extend the
product spectrum in the middle performance range.
The HMI devices are based on the innovative standard operating system, Microsoft Windows
CE. The robustness and speed of the dedicated hardware solutions are combined with the
flexibility of the PC world.
The MP 270B represents the "Multifunctional Platform" product category and is distinguished
by its variable deployment. This product category is positioned in the product hierarchy
between the process-related, optimized application components, such as operator panels
and controllers, and industrial PCs.
The panels TP 270 and OP 270 are downgraded models and less expensive, but still provide
convincing functionality
The comprehensive product range allows users to choose the HMI device most suited to
their needs. All HMI devices include the following advantages:
1
• High degree of configuration efficiency
• Configuration simulation on the configuration computer - no PLC required
• Clear display and easy process operation using a Window-Based user interface
• Large selection of predefined screen objects for use during configuration
• Dynamic screen objects, e.g. moving objects
• Uncomplicated and quick handling of recipes and data records in recipe screens and
recipe views
• Logging of alarms, process values and login/logout procedures
• Creation of vector graphics using the WinCC flexible configuration software without an
external graphics editor,
• Transfer:
– Automatic switchover to transfer mode
– Transfer via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, USB and Ethernet
– Serial transfer
– Transfer via TeleService
• Standard connections to SIMATIC S5/DP, SIMATIC S7 and SIMATIC 505, as well as to
PLCs from other manufacturers
The HMI devices were designed for the middle performance range. They meet the demands
placed on performance, display possibilities and price/performance ratio. In addition, they
extend the communication potential of the office world. Customer needs and requests were
taken into account in respect to extending data transfer functions, simplifying operation, and
increasing acceptance when compared with Windows CE units.
The HMI devices not only support the classic HMI applications (visualization with WinCC
flexible) but also additional applications, such as process diagnostics (ProAgent).
1.2 Field of Application
Overview
The HMI device allows graphic display of operating statuses, current process data and errors
of connected PLCs. The user can operate and observe the machine or system being
monitored easily using the HMI device.
Applicable areas of use include machine and apparatus construction sectors, printing and
packing industries, automobile and electrical industries and chemical and pharmaceutical
industries.
The high degree of protection (IP65 on the front side) and avoidance of moving storage
media, such as hard disks and floppy disks, ensure that the HMI device is suitable for use in
rough industrial environments and on site where a machine is located.
Possible installation locations for the HMI device:
• Switching cabinets/consoles
• 19" cabinets/racks (keyboard units)
Connection options for external peripherals (keyboard, mouse and printer) via a USB port,
for example, and the possible use of CF and PC cards support multifunctionality. Due to the
fact that the HMI device is equipped with high performance basic hardware and has a
minimum installation depth means that it fulfills all the requirements for operation in the
vicinity of the machine.
The HMI device can be used to:
• Operate and monitor the process using the menu system. Setpoint values or control
element settings can be modified by entering values or activating configured softkeys
• Display processes, machines and systems on full-graphic, dynamic screens
• Display and process alarms and tags through output fields, bar graphs or trend curves
• Use input to intervene directly in the running process
In order to operate a machine or system using an HMI device, the user interface must be
configured for the HMI device. This procedure is referred to as the "configuration phase".

Further information
The creation of projects for HMI devices and functions for the configuration software is
described in detail in the "WinCC flexible" user manual and in the WinCC online help.
Information on connecting the HMI device to the PLC is provided in the "WinCC flexible
Communication" user manual.
The "Readme.chm" file on the WinCC flexible CD contains the most current information
which could not be included in the manuals and online help due to time constraints.
The following table summarizes the range of functions provided by the HMI device. The
numeric values are maximum values which the HMI device is capable of managing. These
values are not cumulative. It is not possible to simultaneously configure 4000 alarms and
300 screens each with 400 tags per screen.
The defined values are also limited by the size of the configuration memory.

The battery ensures that in the event of a power failure, the HMI device's internal hardware
clock continues to run. If no battery is available, the clock continues for approx. three days
as long as the HMI device was in operation for 6 to 8 hours, without interruption, beforehand.
The battery is not supplied with the HMI device.
Installation in the MP 270B 10", TP 270 10" or OP 270 10"
1. Secure the battery with two cable ties to the back of the HMI device. The position is
indicated by an arrow in the following figures.
Figure 1-2 MP 270B 10" Keys / OP 270 10"
Figure 1-3 MP 270B 10" Touch / TP 270 10"
2. Insert the battery lead connector into the two-pin socket. The plug is coded to prevent
reversed poling.
Ensure that the HMI device does not access the memory card during the removal process.
Otherwise, the contents of the memory card will be fully destroyed.
1. Terminate access made by the HMI device to the memory card.
If the configuration engineer has defined an operating element linked to the
"CloseAllLogs" system function, press the element. Otherwise, press the operating
element linked to the "StopRuntime" system function in the configuration. This ends
runtime.
2. Wait unit the HMI device displays the loader.
Changeover to the loader may take several minutes depending on the size and number
of logs stored.
3. Remove the memory card.
Switch off the HMI device with memory card inserted
Caution
Always terminate the runtime software before switching off the voltage supply in order to
prevent loss of data.
1. Terminate runtime.
Press the operating element linked to the "StopRuntime" system function in the
configuration.
2. Wait unit the HMI device displays the loader.
Changeover to the loader may take several minutes depending on the size and number
of logs stored.
3. Switch off the power supply.
If the power supply is interrupted during normal operation, the HMI device checks the
memory card after power is restored and repairs any defect sectors.
The Internet Explorer supplied with the HMI device has been specially adapted to the
Windows CE operating system and has a restricted functional scope (Pocket Internet
Explorer). Only simple HTML pages, about 100 kb, can be displayed.
Prior to installation, use the system settings to set 1.5 Mb memory for the DRAM file system.
Caution
If too much memory is provided for the DRAM file system, runtime has too little working
memory available. Therefore, in the case of incorrect settings, there is no guarantee that the
runtime can run properly.
Caution
The operation of runtime together with the Internet Explorer can only be guaranteed when
the run-capable configuration (*.fwx) generated is a maximum of 2 Mb.
The installation of Internet Explorer is performed using the ProSave service tool or WinCC
flexible configuration software.
Files created in Internet Explorer, e.g. Favorites, are stored in the DRAM file system. The
DRAM file system is deleted when the unit is switched off. However, using the system
settings (OP Properties > Persistent Storage > Save Files), it is possible to backup the data
currently available in the DRAM file system to the Flash memory. When the device is started
up, the backup data is automatically restored.
If you remove the Internet Explorer, the files created from Internet Explorer must also be
deleted. To do this, delete the files in the DRAM file system using the standard Explorer.
Then backup the DRAM file system ("OP Properties > Persistent Storage > Save Files").
Reset the size of the DRAM file system to the preset value of 2 Mb.
Note
The initial configuration can be restored simply by updating the operating system.
